MANCHESTER, N.H. тАУ A fiery Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, slipping in the polls following a barrage of negative ads in Iowa, hit back at rival Mitt Romney, who just this morning suggested Gingrich canтАЩt take the heat of political campaigning.

┬а

тАЬI can take the heat plenty well,тАЭ said a combative Gingrich, who challenged Romney to a one-on-one debate to discuss the attack ads. тАЬGo back, ask governor Romney, would he like to play in the kitchen? I donтАЩt think so. I donтАЩt think he wants to do anything except hide over here and pretend itтАЩs not his fault that heтАЩs flooding the people in Iowa with falsehoods. ThatтАЩs his money and his staff and itтАЩs his responsibility.тАЭ

┬а

Gingrich, who has avoided attacking his opponents, has demanded Romney ask a supportive Super PAC to take down the roughly $7 million in ads in Iowa. Romney declined, and told Fox News this morning that GingrichтАЩs complaints show he canтАЩt take the pressure of campaigning.

What do you think?
